"More than five years ago the launch of Microsoft Windows XP - and its considerably improved features and reliability compared with Windows 98 and 2000 - made a comprehensive desktop rollout a no-brainer for companies. The other options were all far from desirable. Now, as the world gears up for the launch of Windows Vista, the conclusion may not be so cut and dry. Certainly, Vista is set to be feature-packed and reliable, and many companies will move to the new platform as a matter of course. However, Linux has come a long way in five years, with the concerted effort of hobbyists around the world supplemented by the resources of tech heavyweights to push its desktop features to near-parity with Windows XP."

And the application combining bitmap and vector graphics on Windows is...which one, exactly?
Go back read my original post, Microsoft purchased an relatively obscure third party app doing exactly that and are replacing paint with a modified/improved version of it in Vista, it was on all the tech news sites some time last year.

If you mean "vector paths", like in Photoshop, then Gimp has had this for a while. Otherwise, AFAIK Photoshop does bitmap graphics, and Illustrator vector graphics.
